Official information

Hornsea RNLI Lifeboat Station is dedicated to providing a life-saving inshore rescue service along the East Yorkshire coast. The organization also focuses on educating the community about safety at sea through the efforts of local volunteers.

From the Wikipedia article

Hornsea RNLI Lifeboat Station was located at the junction of Burton Road and Eastbourne Road, in Hornsea, a seaside town approximately 12 miles (19 km) north-east of Hull, on the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire. A lifeboat was first stationed at Hornsea in 1852, by The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society (SFMRBS).

An independent lifeboat station, Hornsea Inshore Rescue, was established at Hornsea in 1994.
